24Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?
25When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.
26But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you are greatly in error.
28And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?
29Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;
30And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
